Etymology of the word ‘photography’:
From the Greek words phos (“light”), and graphis (“stylus”, “paintbrush”) or graphí, together meaning “drawing or painting with light” – allwords.com

I have arrived back home after a 2 week grist mill trip including the West Virginia IR/COLOR Mill Workshop! We had a great time and captured many new images and met lots of great photographers! All counted I visited 8 mills during this trip.

I seem to be falling more and more in LOVE with the Fuji X Pro 1 camera system as time goes by! Regardless of the negative comments online, the camera continues to impress me with EVERY attempt at a different type/style of photography I attempt with it. I rarely take out my large Canon equipment any more!

The Grist Mill GPS database project continues! Several months ago I started this project to build a GPX file of all the Grist Mills and Covered Bridges in the country. I have asked and continue to ask for help in this. If you know of any of these old mills or live near them so that you can provide GPS lat/longs for them please forward this info. So far I have almost 300 Mills in the GPX file which can be found in the download menu on the right side of this blog. There are 2 files, one for Mills and one for Bridges. Download them to your computer then you can download them directly into your GPS unit for your car!
You could try http://www.SPOOM.org for more information. I also post mill photos on panoramio and google.earth. You can check my page at: http://www.panoramio.com/user/2150811

Thanks Steve! I am actually a SPOOM member and use their database all the time but it has been down for the past few days. I also like ohiobarns.com as they have different listings as well. Unfortunately neither of these is all inclusive! I will go take a look at your site now as well!
Hi where is the Mabry mill located ? Do you have any history on it? We have a painting of it and from an old friend that painted it about 50 years ago. Can’t believe I found an image of it. She lived in lake Mohawk NJ and was our neighbor, Marie Peltzer
Nancy, it is on the Blue Ridge Parkway in South West Virginia. It is one of the most photographed mill in the country but not the most pretty one!
My husband and I fell in love with this beautiful photograph and I would love to try painting it in watercolor with your permission.
Not a problem, when you are done please send me a picture of your painting!
